Need to Pull Engine and Tranny ...also the rear. Would like to do this as simple as possible. Any writeups? I had no luck searching. Car is totaled, so I can be rather "harsh" getting stuff out of the way. Thanks!

Easiest way to pull the drivetrain is out the bottom. Start by disconnecting the battery. Need to disconnect all the following.
1) radiator/condensor/fans
2) pull out top plastic support and remove both pieces
3) disconnect all air and egr connections
4) remove intake with rails attached (need a 3/8 fuel line clip to disconnect fuel line)
5) remove coil packs, wires, plugs
6) disconnect/ remove steering shaft
7) pull out the starter and disconnect all wires
8) remove exaust y pipe from manifolds if stock (might have to pull the y pipe if not stock)
9) remove the manifold bolts and pull the manifolds out
10) disconnect the front brake lines from the master
11) remove front wheels
12) remove the 8 shock tower bolts. The master 2 bolts will have to be loosened to get at the 2 torqx screws on the driver side
13) disconnect all grounds from the back of the heads and ground engine straps
14) disconnect all sensors ( cam, crank, oil level, oil pressure, water temp, and alternator)
15) disonnect all the tranny sensors
16) pull out the driveshaft (fluid will drain out so be ready with a catch bucket)
17) remove the torque arm if it is a tranny mount piece
18) support trans with a jack and remove the four trans cross member bolts. Slowly drop the tran and remove all connections.
19) if it's auto remove cooler lines. if it is manual pull the hydralic line.
20) At this point the wiring harness should be pretty well disconnected (check that all connections are off the motor, trans and all grounds)
21) Support motor with at least a 2.5 ton jack at the k member with the car not jacked up more than 1.5 feet in the front on stands (make sure jack is centered)
22) Have a second smaller jack on the trans still supporting it also.
23) Remove the front sway bar
24) Remove the six k member bolts
25) with the help of a few friends slowly lower the motor checking for anything hanging up. Go back and forth lower ing the front, then the back till it is all the way down.
26) Jack the front of the car way up with suv jack stands until the motor will clear. Then pull it out the side on the jacks.
